Another short update.
I'm sorry for the long span between updates.
I found the writing horrible and sub-par.
Maybe I'll rewrite the whole thing later.
Anyways, here it is.
If you have opinions on where to go from here feel free to tell.

Chapter 6
I was lying on the ground looking up at the sky. Clouds were floating above me. They were so white and fluffy. In a way they reminded me of the cotton candy my dad used to buy me when we went to street carnivals together. I always got goaded into going onto the scarier rides and to make up for it, my dad always bought me cotton candy. Even though it was way overpriced.
Then the sky began to twist and turn, fading from the safe baby blue into the grisliest grey. Thunder wracked the sky. I felt my dream self jerk and…
I opened my eyes to a swirl of dust falling onto my face. Then a long thump followed. Suddenly I felt myself being picked up and moved deeper into the cell, where the roof was more stable.
"Thanks for the lift." I told Jesse sarcastically as I looked at my rescuer. "I'm old enough to walk you know."
"I know that. It's just that the roof was about to fall right on your head." I looked up at the roof. Then I looked at the ground beneath it. Dammit. He was right! I dislodged my self from his hold. And I was afraid to notice that it was harder then it should have been. And no, it was not because of the fact that it was so cold in the cell that his heat was comforting. It was like I had lost all my muscle power. A few seconds later I blacked out.
"Addie, wake up!" It was the evil and cruel rival prince. At least that was who he was then. Five seconds later…
"Ugh," I groaned. I felt like I had just been mauled by a pack of wild dogs. And in a way I guess I had been.
"Well? What on clouds happened? According to all the experiment logbooks this has never happened before…"
"Let me tell you something, it's pretty disgusting the way your family experimented on real live hu-fair—people." Because I guess deep down, we were all people. Fairy or human...it didn't matter, neither was better than the other.
"I didn't do any of those experiments." Jesse's voice was full of disgust. "How can you think I would do something like that? It was centuries ago. Back when my uncle was nothing more than a prince with an exceedingly large head."
"Er…ok…why do you suppose the fairies with human blood died faster than those without?" My voice sounded sort of indifferent. Good.
Perhaps because human blood is weaker in that sense. I wouldn't exactly know…"
"I see…"
"It's not like it matters to you anyways…" Jesse was obviously irked by the fact that I still seemed to regard him as a monster. Albeit a monster who could talk.
I didn't reply and the two of us sat there in silence. Awkward or comfortable? I didn't know.
Dawn and dusk came for another day. I was still shaking. No, not just shaking. My bones were rattling inside of me. I was going to be sick.
And I felt that, in my rattling ill bones, that after a week or so of being a boney bouncey ball, I was going to kneel over and die a VERY premature death.
I guess I always knew that it would end up like that. After all, I wasn't living a fairy tale.
I "sat" like that for a while. Then suddenly, after a long deep breath the never-ending wracking stopped. My body came to a halt.
I slowly sat up and looked around my FOV. I didn't see anyone or anything.
For an indefinite amount of time, I sat there. Oblivious to anything. Sort of how I was like many years ago. When the tragedy that had shook my life had happened. Then, I had been broken, despite my physical wellness. Now I was broken. And I felt like I was putting myself together. However long it took. It was time to gear up and do battle. I wasn't going to surrender lying down.
No more Ms. Nice me…
I was snapped out of my musings by a quiet shaking sound. I slowly swiveled my head.
My captor was sitting, his back to the wall tears slowly making his way down his face.
And I knew who the real broken one was.
